I have converted my LandRover and have no problems charging it at home , I simply have a 15Amp 3 pin plug connected to a J1772 on the car .
There are no smarts in the car, The back of the J1772 simply connects to the 3.3Kw TC Charger , with a 240V Relay on the AC side to tell the BMS when the charger is live. It has a proximity resistor .

There are some Tesla destination chargers nearby so I bought a Gelco GS1018 http://www.gelcoservices.com.au/gelco_e ... ehicle.htm
This plugs into the Tesla charge cable on one end , has a black box (EVSE ??) in the middle & J1772 plug on the other end . When I connect to a Tesla charger the green Tesla Light animates & the Power LED on EVSE comes on but is as far as I get .
So can someone please advise what I need to make my EVSE function .

Sketch Coleman is powering an inverter from his 4x4 battery (has another big battery in parallel) which he uses to charge his electric supermoto. He needs to have the vehicle running to keep the power up to the alternator, but at least it's possible to charge trackside when there aren't points available.

Hi goingbush
I am looking at using same charging setup, can you tell me where you sourced your 3.3 TC charger and what model you went with and were there any issues communicating with the zeva BMS? and did you end up using the AVC2 module? any issues with that?

Sorry for late reply, my account was broken.

I got the TC charger direct from manafacturer in China , made to suit my pack voltage & WITHOUT CAN interface , since I have hears so many tales of woe about CAN incompatibility. Works PERFECT with ZEVA BMS using the manual hookup method . No need for CAN there at all.
I bought AVC2 module but didn't end up needing it.

Note that the ZEVA BMS does support the ability to connect to TC chargers over CAN bus for direct control.
